I'm working on a story where the main character is a fifteen-year-old girl with Asperger's Syndrome. She's mainstreamed for the most part, but instead of going to homeroom, she spends an hour in the special ed. classroom.
Does anyone have any experience working in the special ed. setting? What kinds of skills would a teacher work on with a student who had Asperger's Syndrome. Her main issues are a lack of social grace and trouble gravitating her attention away from her own narrow range of interests.
She's also a foster child and has issues getting along with her foster parents, though she's very close with the children she shares the home with. In turn, her parent are overwhelmed with a special needs child, and would probably also need support as well. Would the school help with that?
